Runk blog underway. Did I dream that Michael Kay puts Brylcream in his tea?


Siri, write this down. Two nights ago, had a fever dream about Michael Kay and Joe Girardi, explaining how to stir tea. Kay takes off his glasses and sticks an arm into the cup and swirls the tea. Girardi thinks that's crazy, but Bryant Gumbel - I swear I'm not making this up - texts Kay and says he's been stirring drinks with his glasses for 20 years, so if it's good for Bryant Gumball, I mean, it's good for everybody, right, Siri. Siri? Siri?

(Do you want to keep going?)

Yeah, no, actually no. Siri, keep this going. There's nothing worse than a bullpen loss. We had the game, and we lost it. Terrible. I got nothing more to say.

(Send it to the blog?)

Send.

A rumor or two swirling around Holmes and Weaver coming back. I'd think neither of them would want to rejoin, but both would love to get out of Queens during the Mutts' dismal season. So, it's prolly up to Cashbrain.

Holmes? Yeah, I don't know. But I still can't figure out exactly why we let Luke walk. Except for Cashman being incompetent.

Boone, on the other hand, is an idiot. As proven yet again last night. How many games has his masterly moves cost us this year? Will we lose first place and the bye round again? He's particularly galling when we're limping along without Judge, or Bellinger, or yes, even Stanton. Can't afford his glaring mistakes and crappy judgment.

I couldn't watch the whole tea thing yesterday on the game replay. Incredibly boring, totally stupid, and really, who gives a fuck? Aside from Girardi.

Perfect, Scotland! Looks great. I "had" to miss the festivities yesterday, too, thanks to work. Never have I appreciated work so much!

I think Mr. Seely should anoint substitute posters during his yearly bender and just allow himself the joy of getting shit-faced with his buds without have to write about - or even watch - these Yankees play.. And contrary to popular opinion I found the discussion about tea-stirring most enjoyable.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Holmes was overworked and ultimately failed as a reliever, but he had some very good years for us. Weaver was terrific, but was overworked and went on the DL...Hmm, I'm beginning to see a pattern here...

Both could help us bigly. Would Cashman risk a deal with the crosstown Mets, one where he could end up looking very foolish, right here at home, if he gives up too much?

Of course NOT! More likely they will go to the Sox.

After watching last night's debacle, if you are not convinced that AI is make some if not all of the managerial decisions last night, I don't know what to tell you...

Carl J. Weitz said...

The reason why we rarely win in extras is that the hitters don't make bat contact as often as they should; hence, they don't move runners over, get them in from third, or get timely hits. And due to BaBoone being an incompetent manager. The worst skipper in my lifetime.

Ranger….since Boone isn’t noticeably wired, or often dead eyed staring into an iPad- could these information dump transmissions be getting transmitted through his seeds and bubble gum?

JM said...

That looks incredibly good.

JM said...

The shocking truth may be that Boone is an android. Along with being an idiot.

AboveAverage said...

Then who the heck does he offer all those post game dance moves to up in the stands after every win? Elon?? His Wife's Mistress??? The deceased founder of the Double Bubble corporation???

Same old same old last night.…inability (unwillingness?) to perform fundamentals such as bunting coupled with the inability to make contact (Rice is overrated), just a complete failure in playing situational baseball.

And then, there’s boone… in a a situation like the bottom of the 12th last night, runner on third one out, why doesn’t he move the outfielders in? A long fly end the game anyway…we need a new manager so fucking badly, and it’s the easiest thing in the world to do.
